    Also that they had a Confederate flag folding ceremony until October of this year. In Glasgow. And that the ban only BARELY passed on a 48-50 vote. AND the president of the committee resigned over the ban.

    There desperately needs to be a Netflix documentary about this whole thing

        Agreed! But this is the kind of over the top, what the fuck kind of random story that Netflix is known for

      The Confederate flag had been the centrepiece of a flag-folding ceremony held at the end of each night at the venue.

      Every night, in the UK, they folded the flag of a long gone country.

      Edit: The end of the article has an explanation for why, so at least there is A reason. I am still amazed.

      Maybe it’s like in Sweden and Finland where the Confederate flag was seen as a rebel and rock symbol.

      Maybe they need a documentary about the civil war over there. Or is slavery that popular in Scotland?
